A smart friend from my college days sent me searching through the speech transcript to verify her observations and add a couple of my own:
State Of The Union's Jobs Rapture Needs Hard Reality Checks
------------------------------------------
Right wingers just don't understand that there is isn't enough good paying jobs that require no education or training. They don't exist.
That's why you have such large areas of poor whites. Look at Appalachia.
White wingers whining how things aren't fair when they are too lazy to learn something of values doesn't help anyone. And they haven't figured that out yet. They are crying for jobs and there are 6 million unfilled.
- The world "science" appears once in the speech: "Americans fill the world with art and music. They push the bounds of science and discovery."
- "Medicine" doesn't appear. Neither does "health care" or "healthcare," which is an enormous part of the economy and an important driver of better paying jobs.
- "Education" appears twice, but only in the contexts of someone investing in the education of his daughters and in one of the requirements for a path to citizenship for so-called dreamers, who were brought here without official authorization.
- "STEM," for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, doesn't appear at all.
- Neither do engineering or mathematics
- "Technology" doesn't appear at all
- "Research" and "R&D" are also absent.
